Saya Sakakibara triumphed over fear, self-doubt, and family tragedy to become an Olympic champion. Her journey will inspire you to face your fears and unlock your greatest potential.
 
A devastating accident left Saya terrified of the sport that had made her famous. After witnessing her brother Kai suffer a traumatic brain injury in the lead-up to the Tokyo Olympics, Saya was shaken to her core. The sport she once loved now felt too dangerous to continue. With six concussions and the haunting memories of crashes, Saya briefly decided to walk away from BMX.

But quitting wasn’t so simple. Supported by her family – Kai, who now dreams of Paralympic glory, and her parents who fear for their children’s safety – Saya set out on a journey to rediscover her passion for BMX and face her deepest fears.

This is a story of resilience, self-discovery, and the determination to keep going when the road ahead feels uncertain. Saya’s journey is a powerful reminder that overcoming fear and embracing the challenges along the way can lead to the greatest triumphs.

Saya Sakakibara grew up in a highly competitive environment alongside her brother, Kai, both of whom became professional BMX racers. Saya’s love for BMX racing blossomed at just four years old, attending practice sessions and races with Kai. Over her twenty years in the sport, Saya has amassed an impressive collection of titles, including an Olympic gold medal. She credits her success to the support and challenges from her family – especially her father, brother and coaches – who pushed her to reach her full potential and develop her own drive and motivation.
